maternity consult

I have been out of obgyn x 6 years and started up a new physician. My question is this? New pt comes in for suppressed menses, lab sheet given for quant and sonogram ordered. Positive urine test in office. This was a consult for pregnancy and no exam. Once confirmed by lab and sono, she returns for OB HX and then again for OB PE. Can I bill for the first visit as a consult and then her global starts on her 2nd visit? Thanks
